There was a season of my life where I worked three jobs, went to college full-time, and still had the audacity to think I could “just power through.”

Spoiler alert: I was tired. All the time.

In this episode, I talk about what that season actually taught me not just about money, but about time, boundaries, and efficiency. When your schedule is packed and your energy is limited, you learn very quickly what matters and what absolutely does not.

I share:

•What working three jobs taught me about.
respecting my time
•How I learned to study smarter instead of longer
•Why exhaustion forces you to get honest with your priorities
•The survival systems I built that I still use today as a teacher and professional

This isn’t a “hustle harder” episode. It’s a work smarter, protect your energy, and stop romanticizing burnout conversation. Because being busy doesn’t mean you’re being effective and sometimes survival is the strategy.

If you’re balancing school, work, or life with too much on your plate, this episode is your reminder: you’re not weak for being tired; you’re human.

Class is in session.
Rest is not a reward.
It’s a requirement.
